Hmmm. So was New York once Nieuw Amsterdam or Nieuw Amstelledamme or Nieuw Amstelredam?
Crumville, CA
I’m also posting from Losantiville this weekend. Or near to there, anyways. I don’t know if Clearwater used to be called anything else. Maybe Camp Swampy.
Sutterville, the capitol of California.
Oh, YES. It’s the one thing I miss absolutely most from home. I canned 17 pints of Saskatoons when I was home last summer. I’m down to four.
It seems that the entire area around me was originally part of the Henricus land grant, later split into seperate counties. Here’s where I found that information. This part of the country is old enough to be ancient for us, but a tiny baby for the British. 
The Asabet Valley.
Make that Assabet.
Oh well. The people who called it that didn’t have a written language anyway.
Native American trading village of the moundbuilding tribes right at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers.
It’d still be Tampa, interestingly enough. For a while in the 1800s, it was Fort Brooke, after the fort built on the bay, but the settlers preferred the aboriginal name, and called the city Tampa Bay. After a time the word bay was dropped, leaving just Tampa, which it was in the first place.
Canned?!? You canned saskatoons? Evil. All saskatoons are supposed to be baked into pies* and sent to me. I should have thought everyone knew that by now.
Hmph. :mad:
*Well, the ones that aren’t eaten during picking, that is. One into the pail, one into the mouth, one into the pail, three into the mouth, etc.
I’m posting from Cynthia Ann, Oregon.
Ok, that’s a lie. I think this part of town was always called Dallas, and it grew and swallowed up the smaller community of Cynthia Ann which was north of Dallas.
Near Te Kotuitanga, Whau, Tamaki Makaurau.
Just to add: I see my co-patriot Calm Kiwi put Aotearoa as part of her address. That would be incorrect, as Aotearoa dates from after European influence began here, and the needed to find a word that summed up the whole country. More correctly, it would be just the North Island, or Te Ika o Maui.
Sort of depends where exactly in Toontown you’re posting from.
According to this history link, the original name for the spot on the river bank was Minnetonka, which would have been in Rupert’s Land prior to 1869-1870.
After the temperance settlers arrived, three little municipalities developed, which eventually amalgamated into Saskatoon in 1906: the village of Saskatoon, where the railway station was located on the west side of the river; Nutana, on the east side; and Riversdale, farther west of the village of Saskatoon. Since they all developed in the 1890s onwards, they would have been part of the North-West Territories.
Piper, history geek.
Cool. Didn’t know about the Minnetonka thing. The precise location I’m in was open plains till long after Nutana was amalgamated with Saskatoon, if we’re going to get picky. To get really nitpicky, I think my apt is closer to Sutherland than it would have been to Nutana. (Actually, upon looking at a map, I’m about equidistant from them.)
Now, if we want to relax the boundaries a bit, the archeological site at Wanuskewin just north of town was occupied up to something like 8000 years ago, and presumably had a name in some long lost language. What that might have been, though, is impossible to tell. 
Before Melbourne was proclaimed a town, it was known as the Settlement of Port Phillip. Prior to the white ‘invasion’, it didn’t attract any particular name, but it was home to the Wurrundjeri language group.
I think Wurrundjeri is a way cool name…much more interesting than Melbourne.
Big Lick, Virginia
Which is doubly interesting, since we don’t have any major salt licks around here (it’s called Roanoke now), at least that I know of. Maybe we used to.
One more from El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Ángeles de la Porciuncula.
Terminus, Georgia.
